Floodplain Management Assessment of the Upper Mississippi River and LowerMissouri Rivers and Tributaries. Appendix D: Public Involvement/Institutional Factors

摘要

The oversight agency for the floodplain management assessment was the NorthCentral Division. The St. Paul District was the lead agency for completion of the report, but actual work on the report was accomplished by five Corps District; St. Paul, Rock Island, St. Louis, Kansas, and Omaha. The assessment evaluated the impacts of a wide array of floodplain policies, programs, and flood damage reduction measures to the Midwest Flood of 1993. However, this assessment has taken an important step toward achieving a better understanding of the current uses of floodplain, forces causing those uses, and impacts of various alternative changes in the managment of floodplains. Some of the objectives included in the assessment are: describing land and water resources and making projections of future conditions; identify local interests; alternative uses of floodplain resources; identify facilities needing additional flood proction; examine Federal cost-sharing; and evaluate cost effectiveness of alternative flood control projects and recommend imnrovements to current system.
